ID-100211198The Philippine Commission on Audit (COA) will run an audit on the Bureau of Customs’ (BOC) electronic-to-mobile (e2m) system.

In a memorandum dated March 31 and signed April 10, Customs Commissioner John Phillip Sevilla said the assessment will determine whether there are controls embedded in the e2m and whether they are working effectively, and “to ascertain the integrity and reliability of the databases and reports generated.”

The audit was a request from COA, and will last for 45 working days after BOC’s Management Information System and Technology Group provides the requisite test environment.

The audit will only focus on the General Controls and Application Controls of the e2m Customs Import Assessment System, including all related IT processes and policies.
